Subject: Gnus-5.7 with Qmail Mailbox and Maildir?
Date: 31 Oct 1999 13:39:42 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <877lk3fk7l.fsf@Thanatos.Shenton.Org> (raw)
I recently switched from sendmail to qmail. In .gnus I tell gnus to
send using qmail with:
(setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-qmail)
I'm using the default UNIX-style "Mailbox" file, now in user home dirs
rather than /var/mail. I've persuaded Gnus (5.7) to read this like by
adding:
export MAIL=$HOME/Mailbox
to my .bashrc and it works fine. Is there a better, more Gnusy way to
do this?
I anticipate changing from Mailbox to Maildir format in a while but
couldn't find any Info docs or place in the code which indicated this
was doable. This seemed odd since the code knows about sending with
qmail. Am I missing something? A search of the archives turned up one
suggestion:
(setq mail-sources '( (maildir) ))
but I couldn't find this variable in the code. Clues welcomed.
Thanks.
